NOTICE.
Workingmen, will you. as workingmen OF

under sentence of death, brought about abso
lutely BY the clamor occasioned by grossly
exaggerated and ticticious statements of the
eapitalistic press, to hang. Ii would bt
damaging to this land of boasted civilization
Worklngmen, if these champions are TO hang
on the L lth of November rise in YOUR might
and effect their rescue. The independence
of the United States was brought about by
the use of bombs and firearms. They are
effective. Forewarned is forearmed. Any
action that may be definitely determined up
on should be kept secret until the proper
time. This notice is not intended for any
one who is not in sympathy with the con
demned men Further notice will be given
later on.
The sheriff and police allege that they will
be fully prepared for any exigencies that
may arise on the day of the execution of til,
Anarchists.
Mrs. 5. Schnaubelt the mother of the man
who is supposed TO have thrown the fata
bomb, arrived in Chicago yesterday, coming
from Germany, where her son is now in hid.
ing. The object of her coming is to free
Parsons, Fielden, Schwab and Fischer, whC
She claims knew nothing of the conspiracy
According to her statements the plot origi-
mated in New York, and the only ones in
Chicago who knew its purport were Spies
Engel, Lingg Zegler and Schnaubelt. The
latter was arrested the day after the massa-
ere, but owing to the stupidity of the police
department he was released
Mrs. Schnaubelt has in her possession affi-
davits from her son and other Anarchists
which she will present to the Governor in a
day or two. 1t is understood that she was
sent for by the seven men now under SEN
tence of death, who are now willing to have
the whole truth made public. She refused
to disclose the nature of the affidavts. and
declines to be interviewed by reporters.
Mr.. Walsh, one of the attorneys for the
defence, was asked whether he could use
these developments III influencing the acton OF
the supreme court?
IF such facts come to the suface now,
they will probably have to be submitted
privately to the Governor" he answered in
reply.
'Will Mrs. Schnaubelt go before the Gov
ernor?"
II know nothing about it as yet. There
may be something in the wind. | presume
Solomon has the matter in hand if there be
any truth in it, and he will be here Tuesday
evening
''Do you really think that the visit to this
country of Mrs. Schnaubelt has any connec-
ton with a plan of Rudolph Schnaubelt to
show the innocence of any of the Anar-
chists?"
II do not know. | guess there is some
thing. From all hear should suggest that
you make your inquiries in New York city
